Four bedroomed stone farmhouse in a secluded hamlet with outbuildings and large garden

Set in a small hamlet of five houses, this delightful farmhouse has a warm and cottage-like appeal. It is light and spacious with a good sized garden and vegetable patch and a field ideal for grazing livestock. There are numerous barns and there is also a small second house on the other side of the hamlet. Although this house is habitable, it is in need of some TLC, and to make it perfect good DIY skills would be an advantage.

This house is full of character with exposed beams and stonework and lovely features throughout. Bright kitchen with a stone fireplace with a wood-burning stove and a window at both ends of the room. Also on the ground floor are the dining room, sitting room with french doors overlooking the garden, and a bathroom with separate wc. Two staircases lead up to the four bedrooms.

The pretty, south facing garden is mainly laid to lawn, mature trees and some lovely old pines.

There is a good sized sunny vegetable garden and beyond that a large field bordered by woods which also has access from behind which is handy for taking the pig to market or delivering animal feed.

There is a stone barn close to the house but not attached, divided into two sections with a hayloft above.

Opposite the house is another larger stone barn and just around the corner is a small house on two levels

The hamlet is at the end of the road, so no passing traffic at all and about a mile from the nearest village which is on the banks of the river Vienne, ten minutes to the nearest town with all its supermarkets and amenities and it is only 30 minutes to Poitiers where there are all the major shops, international airport (Ryan Air flights) and the TGV station whisking you to Paris in 90 mins or Lille for easy connection by Eurostar to London.

There is just under 3000m2 of land in total, so plenty of space for hens, geese, turkeys, pigs…

Location in France

The Vienne was formed in 1790 from parts of the historical regions of Poitou, Berry and Touraine. The department tends to slope downwards from the north to the south with the highest point reaching 764 ft and the lowest point being 115ft at the confluence of the River Creuse and the River Charente. The department gets its name from the River Vienne, which flows straight down the centre.
Poitiers is the departmental and regional capital and boasts France's oldest Christian building, the Saint Jean baptistery, constructed back in the fourth century. The town has some fine examples of Romanesque architecture, is a pleasant small city, and visitors will find a relaxed atmosphere, especially compared to Paris. IT is home to around 90,000 people including many students thanks to the popular university. Poitiers is also a good base to visit nearby towns and cities. A lot of retirees move to the city and its' environs, attracted by its warm climate (snow is rare).
North of Poitiers is Futuroscope, France's scientific theme park, created by the Vienne departmental council. Further north still is Chatellerault, a charming town with tree-lined avenues and the imposing Henry IV bridge, built some four centuries ago which crosses the River Vienne.
Montmorillon is a small town with only 7,500 inhabitants, and book publishing is the town's speciality and a book fair is held here every June. The nearby Vienne River offers kayaking and fishing amongst many other activities. Away from the river, the gentle countryside provides an ideal location for horse riding and walking.
Ryanair flies direct to both Limoges and Poitiers. If you'd rather go by land then take France's super fast TGV train service, which stops off in Poitiers. To get there by car, take the A10 from Paris.
